At least Poland put up a real fight when the Nazis invaded their country.
And yet no people ever took more pleasure in slaughtering Jews.
My grandfather was a civil engineer during WWII. When he refused to help rebuild a railroad bridge that had been blown up by the resistance, Nazis came to my father's house, took my grandfather away, and shot him.
Overall, my father lost both parents and a brother during the war. His sister survived, but lived the best years of her life under a repressive communist regime. He joined up with a Polish regiment organized by the British and ended up in England after the war. He told me that he came to the US because he believed that the US was the only country that would fight the communists. He thought the British would eventually cave.
Needless to say, he taught me everything I ever needed to know about socialists and communists. It helped me survive the liberal crap they shoveled me in government school.
